 decay aud oxidation. It is shaped like a cauoe, sliai'p at both ends, 

 and cuts the water haudsouiely. Along the sides aud bottom are leather 

 thongs. l)y which the bonghs aud limbs cut for frame can be lashed 

 securely to the canvas, with the assistance of the four leather framing 

 blocks or sockets (two for each end), which connect the stem and stern 

 posts (or pi'ow pieces) with the keelson, aud it can be readily put to- 

 gether anywhere in the woods, no tools being required for the piu'pose, 

 excejitiug an ax or hatchet. The whole of it can l>e packed away iu a 

 space 24 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 3 inches thick. The size now 

 made (Xo. 3), although but 12 feet long, will carry six men, or four men 

 with their necessary baggage, aud weighs but 12 jiouuds Avheu rolled up. 

 It has been tested iu a heavy sea with a frame of green boughs cut only 

 two houi's before, and carried a weight of 700 pounds safely and easily."
